Strawberry 'Sparkle'

A late small dark red berry, witha moderately vigorous plant.

This cultivar produces very good crops and the plants grow fast. While the berry is not as attractive as other cultivars, the flavor is ...Read Morestill good and the texture is also good. It was originally introduced in 1943.

When planting, crowns must be placed right at the top of the soil line or they will not survive (rotting if placed too deep and drying out if placed too high). Well drained soil and full sun is a must.

Blooms exposed to late freezes (without protection) result in a limited harvest.
